Personally,I'd TIG or MIG the solid 1/4" stock. If your going to use tube on top of that,I'd either TIG or braze that part.

i dont think i am going to use tube on top, or maybee i dunno,really havent planned it all out yet. My ideas are always changing, but i am sticking with the quarter inch steel, i know its going to be heavy but what the hell. Thanks for the help.

yea 1/4 solid is gona be a heavy pig....anyway yea with solid would be way easier to just mig it, but tig would prob look cleaner. the onlything wrong with brazing the solid stock is the heat with 1/4 solid I'd almost think you'd want a oxy actlyne set up, mapp would take a while to heat up the joint....
